More than 90 percent of northern Europeans would vote for President Barack Obama if they were able to cast ballots in the United Sates' election next week because they see Mitt Romney as too right wing, British pollster YouGov said on Wednesday.

While U.S. polls show Obama and Romney are heading for a photo finish, European voters in seven northern European countries expressed overwhelming support for the Hawaiian-born 51-year-old White House incumbent.

In a Europe grappling with economic crisis and welfare systems that bond investors say are unsustainable, the rhetoric of the U.S. presidential race simply does not press the same buttons.

A retired Belgian that I helped to move here (Philippines),
just returned from a trip back home.
As with most Europeans, he seems quite sure that Obozo will
be reelected.
I commented that Europeans want Obama simply because they want America brought down to the low level of Europe.

Yougov does internet polling which it then tweaks in order to put it in line with other polls, plus or minus some fudge factor. Since few other companies have polled Europeans for their reactions with respect to Romney and Obama, and there is no way to tell at the polls, these numbers are essentially pulled out of the air.

People always resent those who give them free crap... and we have given Europe “protection” for the last 60 years so they could use their own money instead for socialism.

We were too damn nice after WWII and the cold war. We should have let Russia march over them in 10 years and then kicked Russia back in the mid 50’s and then said “Hey dumb ass Europeans, you learn anything yet?”

And let them know they better get their poop in a group or we start adding stars to our flag...

Europe has been one of the world’s major sources of Socialism, Fascism and Communism. My grandpa got to kick their asses in WWI, my dad got to do it in WWII, and I never got to do it. I want my shot! We’ve kicked their asses before and I’ll enjoy doing it again.

It seems strange that Europeans should be polled asking who they would vote for in OUR election. I don’t think it’s common for us to be polled asking who we would for in French, German, or British elections. (Uh...Maybe because it would be irrelevant and no one should care?)

A lot depends on what happens next Tuesday. Hussein will certainly speed up the downward journey. Romney on the other hand can be “worked on” easier, but he’d have to get in the door first.

(Seeking the truth, a fact at a time.)

“Now that the European Parliament has made it possible for Obama to become the European President, and invited him to do so when he leaves office in America, and he has expressed interest in becoming the European President, do you think they should appoint him to the job?”
